I did bring a set over and the car did start right up. I just know in our 528 the car cannot be driven without the keys in it. If you start it up, and then remove the keys from the interior a prompt appears on the idrive stating the car cannot be moved since the key is not present.
As for "running into the dry cleaner" I do that all the time with the car on, especially when its freezing out. I guess I have to change my ways. I just find it strange that the 528 wont go but the 550 will
